House music

1. What mood do the opening stage direction and setting description create? What effect is created with the music of the “blue piano”? The opening stage direction and setting description create a calm and soothing mood of the town. I felt a mood of soothing when the text stated, “You can almost feel the warm breath of the brown river beyond the river warehouses with their faint redolences of banana and coffee. This illustrates how the atmosphere of Elysian fields is pleasant and peaceful due to…

in West Side Story. The piece consists of 118 bars and 6 verses. From bar 37 we see a change beating to a strict 4/4 and a change of key to A major, whereby the listener should pick up strong hints of bitonality as the bass is A-F-A-F.

"Actors to places." I tap my fingers restlessly on the first page of my binder, waiting to hear the OK from my Assistant Stage Manager backstage. Opening night is always a bottle of anticipation. I hear the orchestra tuning their instruments, the music disjointed but with such a harmonious structure. The lights have just gone down and the audience members find their seats quickly. I run through my preshow checklist in my head once more to make sure everything is prepared: Props preset, lights…

often under the title "Largo from Xerxes", although the original tempo is marked larghetto. For most of the piece the vocalist is in piano (soft) and only forte (loud) one time close to the end of the piece. Even though many composers write on the music sheet how the musical performance should be interpreted, many vocalist sometimes add their own interpretation to the piece to make it their own. Vocalists cannot change the lyrics or notes, they can only alter the dynamics and the length and…

For this combination, I recognized that I was able to learn the entire phrase without having to rely on others, so I finally achieved a previous goal of mine from my last synthesis paper. My goal was to be able to perform based off of my own confidence. From the beginning of class until now, I was really reluctant in trying to do the movement because I forgot that movement looks different in everyone else’s bodies, so I was busy trying to match other people, which probably slowed me down from…

However: even though it was a hospice home it was different from most,the sun in this house ruled over darkness at all times and the smell of the house was that of fresh flowers in a garden. Also the house would sometimes smell of cinnamon and apples , in which the aroma was so aggressive , one…

friends. We found an apartment for cheap. The rent was split equally between the four of us with one person just paying sixty dollars a month.In the apartment, there were plenty of windows that should light up the apartment nicely but despite that the house was still dim. None of us would have imagined that it was haunted. Often at night, we'd hear something that sound like footsteps but thought nothing of it as might because the apartment being old. One night when we just finished our semester,…
